About this postcard

Waves break in white spray against a rocky, tree-topped shore of Lake Champlain, with open water stretching to a low horizon under a pale pink-and-blue sky; the card's own caption names the scene as "Rocks and Waves, Lake Champlain near Burlington, Vt." Lake Champlain, the long narrow lake between Vermont and New York extending into Quebec, was a popular scenic and resort subject for early twentieth-century postcards, and Burlington on its eastern shore was the region's principal city and rail and steamboat terminus.
